Barry	Moderator. Joined 04/24/03.  After some 30 years as an Industrial Chemist I'd decided it was enough of the smelly chemicals and time to develop a life-long hobby into a much better way of working ... getting made redundant being the spark that set it all off :-) So now set myself up as a PC Repair guy and the work is slowly building up, in the meantime there's lots of time spent in the various PC Help groups - assisting others and in the process picking up new ideas ( this is a very fast moving technology !! ) No matter how busy I get though there'll always be time for this side of my PC world ...I enjoy it too much to give it up < lol >
Mike	Moderator. Joined 11/23/03.  I got my first Commodore 4k Pet, computer back in the seventies. I have gradually worked my way through the IBM 8080 processors, Apple 11e's, Mack's, and through the clones, 386, 486, MMX200's, AMD K6/233. All the way up to my current AMD Thunderbird 2200, with 1gig memory, and 120GB hard drive. I currently have 3 computers running on my home network, running Win 98Se and Win XP pro.  Mike ~ It is a good day if I learned something new!
Martha	Moderator. Joined 11/29/03.  My name is Martha, I live in Arlington, TX, home of the Texas Rangers. I am old enough to be everyone's mother and some of you, grandmother. I have a hubby of 48 years, two sons, no grandchildren and a rotten Cockers Spaniel named Scamp. I got my first computer in 1984, a Commodore 64 and have had a long love affair with computers ever since. I have used just about every flavor of Windows (not ME) and currently I am using Windows XP Pro and also have a system with Windows 98SE.
Jo	Moderator. Joined 07/21/04   I live in the North East of England with my hubby Dave, we have three grown up children and three grandchildren. I got my first computer in 1992 a second hand Amstrad PCW586 which soon had me hooked and wanting something better, I bought my first "proper" computer six months later, an Intel 486 running Windows 95. At present I have two self build desktops and an IBM laptop but I'm getting the urge to build something better, so hopefully in the not to distant future my next project will be on the bench.
William	Moderator. Joined May 28, 2005 Hello Everyone, My name is William Brabant, more commonly known as the buffalo. I am 55 years old and live in Sault Ste. Marie Michigan on the Canadian border with my wife Sandra, and frequently my daughter, Buffy, and her daughter, Eva who is 18 months old. I am an industrial electrician by trade although I am currently unemployed, as my job went to India and that is too far to commute. In my spare time I have been publishing news letters in YahooGroups since 1998 starting first on a WebTV, then a 486DX 100, a 650 Pentium 3, a1.7 Pentium 4, 2100 AMD athelon, and now a dual core AMD 64. I have had every OS from windows 95 to Vista home premium and I have broke them all and managed with the help of good people on the net to fix everyone of them except windows 2000. I bought that one on eBay from a Pakistani Programmer and parted it out when It died on booting up. Somewhere along the line I stopped asking so many questions and started answering some paying forward those that had taken time with me. I hope to be able help those that ask. William
Dave E	Moderator. Hi All - As requested a bit about myself. I’m an Army brat raised on a Navy (Construction Battalion) Base. I grew up surrounded by electronics as my stepfather was a programmer for the Collins Radio’s NASA Deep Space Tracking Network contract. My first experience actually using a computer was in the 80’s when I had to use an old Xerox 860 machine (simple word processor) that had two 5 ¼” floppy drives, one for the program and the second for the data. My first personal computer was a RadioShack TRS-80 CoCo-II, not exactly a brilliant machine but not bad for it’s time and it had the benefit of being able to accept user written programs stored on a cassette tape (the days of Basic). I learned almost everything I know by the trial and error route. I tried it , broke it, researched what I had done wrong and figured out how to fix it. I am also a moderator for the online US Navy Chiefs’ Mess. While our original home and now our backup is on Yahoo Groups (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/chief/) the primary website is (www.chiefsmess.org), As some already know I’m a retired US Navy Chief Petty Officer. I joined the Navy in 1972 and attended numerous training programs, including the Naval Nuclear Power School at Mare Island California and Idaho Falls Idaho. I served on numerous ships and stations and finally retired in 1993 as a Chief Electrician’s Mate, immediately upon returning from Somalia and Operation Restore Hope. Since I retired from the Navy I have built ships, been a Drug and Alcohol Counselor, and worked in a tech support call center. I am currently a Special Ed aide for the county in a local high school but hoping to be hired by Caterpillar. I live in Yorkville, Illinois with my wife, our soon to be son (according to the ultrasound tests), and numerous critters.
